This is a special post for the Christmas Eve & Feast of the Holy Family Masses.

Mass went pretty well last week -- I was especially pleased with how the new Psalm, 'Lord, Make Us Turn to You' turned out. Thanks to everyone who was able to be there!

Ginny, Lisa K. and I stuck around briefly to look at Christmas music.

This Saturday is the 4th Sunday of Advent.

Mass went pretty well last week! The new Psalm, GC #148, turned out quite nicely for a first run, and we managed to pull together 'O Come, Divine Messiah' once more.

This Saturday is the 3rd Sunday of Advent.

We where a little thin on singers last week and Mass was a bit messy in the first half, but we made it through. Thanks to everyone who was able to be there!

Tom, Ginny, Maggie and I stuck around afterward to look over/review Mass of Joy & Peace, the Psalm for this week and our tentative Christmas Eve Mass program.

Mass went pretty well last week -- we had a nice group of singers and a couple of instrumentalists. Thanks once again to Jonathan for coming to cover guitar on short-notice!

This Saturday is the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

I was out last week due to a concert, so I don't have too many updates. Jim had a change in plans and reports that "[Saturday] night went very well. Jon, Maggie, Joe and I were there with a bunch of singers".

This Saturday is the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

We where nearly at full staff last Saturday and Mass went very smoothly. Thanks to everyone who was able to be there!

Tom and I met at 4 PM to review Mass Parts and the music for the liturgy, something we may end up doing somewhat regularly for a while. Feel free to come early and join us if there's something specific you'd like to look at before rehearsal.

On Sunday, Jonathan and I, as well as folks from the 11 AM choir and religious education classes, performed in what turned out to be a pretty successful talent show as part of Father's Stewardship Kickoff event. It was also hinted at that the talent show may become an annual event, so just something to keep an eye out for if you're interested in performing.
